Retrieve saved sms

How can I retrieve and save as a separate file all the SMS I saved on my iPhone?

You need a 3rd party software to do this:

  • Retrieving deleted sms from sms.db

    I know there has been many questions related to retrieving deleted SMS. I apologize for redundancy but wanted to clarify what I have read on other internet sites. I understand SMS are not kept on the iphone sim card. I understand that if I both exchanged a conversation and deleted the conversation since my last sync, that SMS conversation will not be in the backup file and cannot be restored. From what I have seen on these forum's is that the conversation is gone and there is no way to retrieve it.
    While searching on other sites, information was discussed about the deleted texts being stored in the /var/root/library/sms/sms.db despite being deleted previously. Also what I read was the only way to get to this database was to "jailbreak" your iphone, and is accessible only through a third party app, which I have no intention of doing.
    My question is #1, is this information accurate that the sms are stored in the database despite being deleted?
    #2 are there third party apps that allow users to access the iphone file system to get to this sms database that do not include this jailbreaking thing?
    I do not want to do anything to the phone that would negate my warranty or go against what apple wants us to do, but if there are stored deleted sms on some database on the phone, and a way to get to them, i'd greatly appreciate any information on how to gain access. Thanks

    Middle1,
    Text messages saved to the iPhone backup:
    iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    When you sync your iPhone and changes are detected for the specified backup content on the iPhone, iTunes will replace the older backup with the new one retrieved from the iPhone at that moment. If you want a text message to be included in the backup, it's not advisable to delete it from the iPhone.
    Personally when I wish to save an SMS, I find it more reliable to take a screen capture of it:
    Topic : iPhone: How to take a screen shot
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1634964
    Beyond that, you can try searching the App Store for other apps that may provide additional functionality. I personally am not aware of any.
    Hope this helps,
    Raleigh

  • Combine saved SMS of 2 phones to 1

    is it possible to combine the saved SMS messages of 2 phones into 1 phone memory?

    Connect with PC suite to the first phone and save each message as a file on your computer harddrive.
    Then connect to the other phone, and drag the messages into whichever message folder you like.

  • Retrieve deleted sms

    i have accidently deleted one of my sms from my iphone. please advice how can i retrieve the sms back. thanks

    You cannot retrieve it, however if you have synced your iPhone since that SMS was received, you could restore your phone to that last backup that has the SMS. The only problem with that, is that you would lose everything else you have done since that backup. So it is kind of a trade. Which is more important, the SMS or what you have done since the backup.

  • How do I restore saved SMS from PC Suite back to m...

    I just recently had a firmware upgrade on my 5130c-2 at Carphone warehouse, however before I took in the phone to be done I made sure all me contacts, saved sms messages, photos and music were synced with PC Suite, once done, I removed micro SD card and SIM and had the upgrade. Anyway the problem I have now is that all contacts, music and photos are back from syncing, Although I can see all my messages in PC suite they will not go back on my phone!! Please tell what I am doing wrong as I need to get these messages back on. Thank you

    You have to restore the entire backup, as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.  If you want to keep your current data, back up your phone to iTunes first, then resotore the iCloud backup, import the recovered photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore the iTunes backup you made earlier.

  • Can i reject calls by sending saved sms?

    can i reject calls by sending saved sms? such as 'sorry, i will call back'?

    No, it's not currently a feature of the iPhone. You can suggest it to Apple... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    You can setup your voicemail to say 'sorry, i will call back'.
    You can also look in the App Store for an app that might do something similar.

  • Saved SMS on my MAC

    hello to everybody
    I had a saved SMS in my curve and I have done a save of all my files on my MAC. But after the update of the OS, my saved SMS on the curve disappeared. Can you help my by telling which file I have to restore with Blackberry device to recover this saved SMS. It is a very old SMS so I think is not in the file "SMS Messages"
    Thank you for helping, and sorry about my english, I'm french !

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iCloud only backs up messages and only if you enable phone back up.
    Messages aren't accessible either from iCloud.com or from the computer, your back up is only there should you need to restore your phone.

  • Could send, but not receive SMS messages until today - Can I retrieve the SMS messages that never came in?

    I didn't realize until today, but I haven't been receiving SMS messages for two weeks.  I'm pretty sure it started when I sent an MMS message. People have been getting my messages, but I haven't received any SMS sent to me.  Today I reset my phone and was able to receive an SMS that I asked someone to send. 
    Is there any way to retrieve the SMS messages from the last two weeks that didn't come in on my phone?
    I have a Curve 8900

    Hi,
        As far as sms r concerned, that were sent to u around 2 weeks ago cannot be retrieved because of the reason that sms do have a time period for being delivered,else r self destroyed.
    In other words, suppose a sms has 24 hrs time for delivery and for any reason the sms is not  being delivered in that given time period to the specified number, then the sms will automatically get erased/destroyed depending on the netwrok provider.
    Sorry for ur loss... 
    with regards
    simply abhik...

    Hi,
    Did you ever back up your phone on the computer?
    Did you use photo stream at all?
    May I suggest changing your passcode lock to a letters and numbers lock (if not all ready it will make your iphone more secure and a restore lock otion shouldent be needed). Then change your setting as well preventing restore after ten incorect passwords.

  • How to retrieve lost sms deleted from mem card

    Hi,
    I had a glitch composing a new message and I restarted my phone and realised all my messages, emails stored in the memory card are gone. The music files and apps are still there but only the messages.
    Is there anyway I can retrieve these sms and put them back into my inbox? 

    Hi,
    I had the same concern in my N96. All my messages were deleted. This happened thrice with me. I had activated the silent profile & was listening to music in the handset, I received a message & the handset restarted. then all the messages in the handset were deleted. I had around 1300 messages. I tried a lot to retrieve those messages, but couldn't find any solution. I guess you cannot retrieve the deleted messages.

  • Why does viber keep asking me to set up again? I have   it up about 3 times now and if I don't have my mobile  when overseas will be unable to retrieve the sms code. I am using an ipad mini

    ISSUE FINALLY RESOLVED!!!!!!
    So, it turns out, I had to restore the iPhone...with a twist! Here are the steps:
    FIRST BACK UP YOUR DEVICE
    1. Go to the library (Hold option, click on "go" in the finder, then go to library)
    2. Go to your iTunes folder in this Library (not application support, the main iTunes folder)
    3. Go to the iX software folder (i.e., iPhone software, iPad software, etc.) and delete the file in this folder
    4. Hook up the phone and then click on restore iPhone.
    At this point, it will redownload the entire OS again. You must then restore the iPhone. As it is downloading the iOS, you can disconnect and use your phone for probably however long you want (I did the restore the same day as the download) and when you are ready you can hook up the phone and restore it.
    THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP FOLLOWS:
    And one many may dislike. Upon restoring the phone, you MUST select "Set-Up as new iPhone"
    You need to make sure you've backed up EVERYTHING elsewhere. 3rd party, non-apple/icloud apps will lose data through this method, and you'll lose all texts, your call history, and super old voicemails. The upside is that, if you've backed up, then you can just restart the process if you forgot something. But seeing as how the popup was interfering with my ability to use iCloud (I couldn't sync anything, such as calendar events, reminders, etc.,  unless I had gone into mail to sign in to iCloud), it was totally worth it....no more popups.
    My only wish is that this thread becomes popular. Many people have this issue and you should only use this method as a super last resort (after trying literally everything I had written previously).

  • Retrieve disappeared SMS

    Hi there, is there anyone out there knows how to retrieve SMS removed by SE PC Suite?
    Few fews ago when i try to backup all my SMS onto my computer via SE PC Suite, it all just mysteriously disappeared.
    This is how it happen; I have placed all my (Sent and Received SMS) in a separte folder on my phone. When i connect my phone to the
    PC Suite, for some reason PC Suite cannot locate my folder. So i moved all my SMSs into the Inbox as that is the only option i've got from
    the menu. The next thing i notice is that all my Sent SMS had disappeared instantly. And right after that a message pops up stating that
    some of my SMS has not being send. I thought at least it would be move to the Draft folder but it didn't it all just disappeared.
    Can anyone help?
    Many thanks in advance and merry christmas.
